Thread for TTC#1 12months+

[sugarpi24]

This week has been so hard for us! We have been trying to find a home for our one dog that we have had for 2 yrs due to her and our other dog fighting over jealousy and who is gonna be top dog...because we don't want one of us or a kid when we have one or anyone else getting in between them! break my heart cuz she is the best dog ever! But I fear she would be jealous of a baby when we have one...the other dog doesn't really get jealous he just wants in on the action. but she wont let him and snaps at him so I did my trigger Wednesday like the doctor told me...but we didn't bd that night cuz we were so upset over it...we did finally get in the mood the next day and have bd at least 3 times...but I feel like we missed our window and with me being stressed about our baby girl finding a home has me in knots! I hope we are making a wise decision... so that's been my week

Just wanted to stop by with an update. I started clomid this month and I went for my check after words and I go for blood work Friday and then on the 25 I go in for a blood pregnancy test. Fingers crossed!!! Good luck to everyone ttc this month.

Taking a break next cycle so that's it from me for a while. Feel so depressed.

Good luck Jena!

Sugarpi - that must be so hard for you but you have to do what's right for your family. I hope you find a lovely home for your baby girl

Ugh, i'm so sorry star...hang in there sweetie. Come up with a list like i did...it might help. It's listed in my journal.

 

[starrilicious]

Where about in your journal? I don't see it...

Feel a teensy bit better now, had a nap and baked some cake then watched some stupid Harlem Shake videos on youtube.

I'm thinking I need to make it very visual for DH when we need to dtd because at the moment, I just feel like I'm badgering him and making the situation worse. I already have a much higher sex drive than him. Once a week is not enough even when not ttcing! I kust feel like I went through that horrid AF and all the hot flashes for nothing.

I've told him no more TTC till this is sorted. It's dangerous for me to take clomid (i've had a stroke when I was 22) and if we're not even in with a chance what's the point?

This all sucks but nowt I can do about it now. At least I can have a drink now!

Hmm not sure that will help, my temps have been quite solid all through...

 

[starrilicious]

ummmm... I just got a positive OPK! It's the first one I have ever gotten!

 

[Pino6161]

CONGRATS STAR!!!!! Get to BDing!!!

 

[starrilicious]

lol, I wish. Hubs has ED so first sign of time pressure and it's defo a no go.

So pleased to see a positive OPK though!

 

[Pino6161]

Awwww can you just .... not tell him LOL??

 

[starrilicious]

LOL, I use my powers for good not evil!

More good news. I got the placement I wanted at a place in the city. If it goes well I could get a full time job. It's got a really decent salary, great hours (4:30 finishes if you want them) and GREAT benefits, in fact it's what they do! So will be great to be working there if only temporarily.

Apparently my posting from yesterday didn't seem to make it in.
Sugarpi-- Sorry to hear about having to find a new home for your dog. They become such a part of the family. Like you said though you can't have her being jealous or aggressive towards a baby or other people.
Pino-- I have read a couple of infertility books. Ones that I recommend for when you are feeling down are "Infertility Sucks" and "Every drunken cheerleader why not me" They tend to make me smile and at least feel a little better.
Jena-- FXed and Good Luck
Star-- Congrats on all the good news. Does the DH take anything for his ED?

AFM-- Currently 4dpo. DH was offered a job making twice as much as what he is currently making and has a second interview with another company. Either way we will be making out well.

 

[starrilicious]

He takes cialis and is having testosterone replacement therapy. But imo its very hit and miss. He's been getting hormone jabs 3 months now...

Congrats to your hubby! Just need to add some bfps and its a great start to the week!

 

[cntrygrl]

Is anyone close to testing? Where is everyone in their cycles?

 

[starrilicious]

Tooo early for you just yet cntry isnt it? I'm not sure i'll bother to test as very slim chance. I'll just wait on AF since we are taking a break.

Great news on DH's job front! And your chart is already looking fabulous.
